Import tint and Interesting
to r respond ence,
'Che following importmt and inter
r sting correspondence was handed us
tor publication yesterday evening-
The late hour at which it was received
prevents anv extended notice of so itn"
[i trt int a correspondence in this mor
ning's issue ot our paper. Perhaps it
is well that we are debarred this privi
lego, as the correspondence itself needs
no expression or comment on our part
to impress itsell upon the public mind,
» specially in Georgia. There is di&~
played in it, however, a frankness, a
courtesy, a dignity, on the part of both
the distinguished gentlemen—the mu
itarv representative of the United
iStates ami the Georgia civilian —
which cannot fail to excite the admir
alien of the intelligent reader, and
command respect for each in the official
position to which circumstances have
assigned them. We understand from
this correspondence, and the subjoined
‘•General Order No. 10,” most clearly
what Major General Pope, the mili
tary commander ol this district, requires
of Governor Jenkins, and all other
civil officers of the State, and we
trust no instance will occur that will
render it necessary for the former to
enforce the removal from office of any
one occupying it by reason of his dis"
obedience of those orders. Thus, to
use the words of General Pope, may
lie preserved “unimpaired friendly and
harmonious relations” not only with
Governor Jenkins, hut with all the
other civil authorities ol the State.

Sir—l have the honor to transmit,
enclosed a copy of my General Order
assuming command of this Military
District. Copies were sent to you at
the time addressed to Milledgeville.
Paragraph 3, of that order reads as
follows viz:
“Ilf. It is to he clearly understood,
however, that the civil officers thus
retained in office shall confine them
selves strictly to the performance of
their official duties, and whilst holding
their offices they shall not use any in
fluence whatever to deter or dissuade
the people from taking an active part
in lesoristrucling their State Govern
ment, under the act of Congress to
pruvide for the more efficient Govern
ment of the Rebel Stales, and the act
supplementary thereto.”
1 have the honor to request that vou
will inform me at as early a day as
possible, whether, when you issued
v otir address to the people of Ge irgia,
dated Washington. D. (’., April 10,
IRO7, you had seen or had knowledge
of the enclosed order.
I am very respectfully, your obedient
servant, John Pope,

Sir —On yesterday evening a copy
of i communication from you, address
ed to me at Milledgeville, on the 17th
iiist., w:\fi.har.ded to me in tins hotel.
With tliat communication -was trans
muted a copy of your General Order
No. 1, issued from Motgomery, Ala*-

paragraph 3 of that order. You in
qtiiie w.hetlier, when I issued mv
address to the people of Georgia, dated
Washington, l), ('., April 10th, 1807,
1 had seen or had knowledge of your
order above mentioned? 1 answer that
at that time f had neither seen nor
had knowledge of it.
1 supposed I was exercising such
freedom in tlie public expression of
opinion, relative to public matters, as
seems still to be accorded to the citi
z mis of this Republic, not imagining
that it was abridged by the acident of
the speaker or writer holding olliee.
So much for the past, General, and I
will only add, that in future 1 shall do
and say what i may believe is required
of me by the duty* to which my oath
of office hinds me, and this, 1 trust,
will not involve either conflict or con.
troversy between us in the execution
of our respective trusts, as I think it
need not; everything of this character
1 certainly desire to avoid.

Headqdarters 3d Military Dist.,
(Georgia, Alabama and Florida) v
Atlanta, Ga., April 22, 1807. 3
Governor l have the honor to ac
knowledge tlie receipt of your letter of
the 20th instant, in answer to mine of
the 17th.
It gives me pleasure to say that your
explanation is satisfactory, as far as the
past is concerned, and I cordially con
cur with you in the hope that our re
lations in the future may be harmoni
ous and agreeable.
I would content myself with this
answer to your letter but for the lot
ion mg remark which it contains. You
sav. **l supposed l was using such
freedom in the public expression of
opinion relative to public matters as
seems still to be accorded to the citi
zens of tilts Republic, not imagining
that it was abridged by the accident of
the speaker or writer holding office.”
T'fiis expression seems to indicate
that you think that in some manner,
j either personally or officially, you
have been wronged by that parajnaph
of ir.\ order which has occasioned this
correspondence, and that I am seeking
to abridge tho liberty of speech, in this
State, in an unnecessary and oppress
ive manner.
I trust that I may be able to disabuse
your mind of this idea. It is scarcely
necessary to tell you that the late acts
|of Congress, which 1 am sent here to
execute, recognize the existing State
government of Georgia as merely pro
visional, and that the object ol recog
nizing it at all was only that the
ordinary course of business in the civil
tribunals, and the administration of the
laws of the State by the customary
agencies, might not he interrupted
further than was necessary for the strict
execution of the laws ol the United
States. It is not doubted that Con
gress might have legislated the present
State government of Georgia out of
existence a9 easily as they have recog
nized it as provisional, and it is as
little to be doubted that Congress
would have done so, could it have
been foreseen that the entire machinery
of the provisional State government
would be used to defeat the execution
of the very law by whose sufferance
alone it has any existence at ail. It is
verv clear that Congress did not indent!
to recognize or permit to exist, by these
reconstruction acts, a powerful organ
ization to be used against their exeeu
tion, nor can such use he made ot the
State government of Georgia without
greatly obstructing, if not, indeed, en
tirely frustrating the performance of
the dutv required of me by these acts.
The existing State Government was
permitted to stand for the convenience
of the people of Georgia, in the ordi
nary administration ol the local civil
laws, and to that end it should be
carefully confined.
It was in this view that paragraph 3d
of my order assuming command was
considered, and it is not easy to see
how it can be regarded as oppressive
or unjust.
Molding your office by permission of
the United States Government, you
are debarred, as I am, from expressing
opinions, or using influences to pre
vent the execution of the laws of the
United States, or to excite ill-feeling
and opposition to the General Govern
ment, which is executing these acts of
Congress.
With your personal opinions, or
those of any citizen of Georgia, or
their expression within the limits of
the law. 1 have nothing to do; but the
distinction between personal opinion
openly expressed in an official capaci
ty, and official opinion, is too nice for
the common understanding.
The influence of your opinions,
openly avowed, must oi necessity be
very great with the civil officers of the
State in all its departments, when the
tenure of office is largely dependent
upon your pleasure. Your opinions at
a private citizen, without official sta
tion, and the same opinions whilst
Governor of Georgia, have a very dif
ferent significance, and produce a very
different effect.
1 only require that the civil machin
ery of the State of Georgia be not
perverted so as to frustrate the execu
tion ol the laws ol the United Slates,
and for that reason, I exact from the
civil officers that whilst they retain
their offices they confine themselves
strictly to the performance ol their
official duties, and do not use their
influence to prevent the people of the
State from submitting to and carrying
out tfre laws of the United States.
In your address to the people of
Georgia, which occasioned this cor
respondence, you denounce the acts of
Congress which I am sent here to
execute, as “palpably uucosiituiional”
and “grievously oppressive,” and ad
vise the people, whatever may be the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, to take no action under
those laws. Whilst you counsel them
not to resist by violence, you at the
same time, by open official denuncia
tion of the law, invite the very action
which you seem to deprecate.
It is manifestly impossible for me to
perform the duties required of me by
the acts of Congress, while the Pro
visional Governor of the State is
openly denouncing them and giving
advice to the public in his official
capacity, the result of which will he to
excite discontent and array the whole
army of office holders in the State in
opposition to the“- execution, unless,
indeed, the whc.e civil Government ot
the State is overthrown, and the Mili
tary substituted. I think such a change
would be as distasteful to the people of
Georgia as it would be to me, and yet
it the civil officers of the State follow
the example which your Excellency
lias set them, there will be no escape
from such a result.
The 3d paragraph of my order im
poses no restrictions on you to which I
am not myself subject; you hold your
office by permission of the United
States Government, 1 hold mine, as do
thousands of otheis, both civil and mil
itary, by substantially the same tenure.
Custom, old enough to be law itself,
restricts us in conversation and action,
precisely as paragraph 3 of my order
restricts you.
There is a very simple mode of
freeing ourselves from such restrictions
when they become too oppressive.
In conclusion, Governor, it seems
necessary forine to say in general reply
to the latter portion of your letter, that
the paragraph of my order to which
you object was very carefully consid
ared; that it means precisely what it
says, and that to the full extent of my
power it will be st icily enforced.
Mv great respect for your personal
character has made it painful to me to
write you this letter, hut as a fair and
full understanding between us is abso
lutely essential to anything like har*
mon ous relations, 1 have thought it
recessary, even at the risk of giving
offense, to acquaint you fuliy with my
understanding of my duty, and of the
status of the civil officers of the Fro
visional State Governments undei the
late Acts of Congress.
I again assure y oft th .t it shall be my
study, as it will be my pleasure, to pre
serve unimpaired friendly and harmo
nious relations will) you, and 1 trust
that our views on the subject of this
correspondence may be made to har
monize sufficiently to secure this
result.
1 am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, (Signed,]

Southern Con fiscal ors.
The Raleigh Standard Holden’s or
gan) is rather in favor of confiscation.
It says :
“Mr, Stevens has solemnly declared
that he wilt devote his remaining
strength to the work of confiscation.
His influence in Congress is well
known. The great body of the North
ern people, and many of our own peo
ple, feel that it would be an act of gross
and crying injustice to free the slaves
and give them no lands ; and that, to
say the least, it would be better that
the large bodies of land held by the
Southern rebels be cut up into small
farms for the poor whites and the
colored people. Revolutions never go
backwards, and this revolution has not
yet run its course.”
These are the opinions of one who
professes to be a Southerner. The
opinions of the Northern men of (he
correctness of his ideas are shown by
the following extract from an editorial
of the New York Times, to which we
call the especial attention of our read
ers :
“The effect of writing of this charac
ter cannot but be mischievous. It
introduces anew elementof uncertainty
into the South, intensifies its industrial
paralysis, and heightens the distrust
which already deters capitalists from
embarking in its enterprises. It shows
that, in the opinion of politicians who
claim a peculiar right to manage affairs,
and a peculiar influence o v er Congres
sional action, a sweeping measure of
confiscation is in i'self righteous, and
should be pressed upon the country.
“The Standard mis-states the case,
when it declares that ‘the great body
of the Northern people’ favor the
measure, and that the influence of Mr.
Stevens in Cengress is a guarantee of
its ultimate adoption. The personal
influence of Mr. Stevens we have no
inclination to depieciate ; but the last
two sessions have abundantly' proved
that the influence, large as it is, does
not enable him to carry points at vari
ance with the general sentiment of the
party. We should be sorry to lose
him from the political arena, and are
content that he shall devote his re
maining strength to the work of confis
cation,’ because the failure of his efforts
In that regard does not admit of doubt.
The reception accorded to his confis
cation bill is evidence to this. It met
no response in the House, and was
postponed indefinitely by its author,
because an attempt to pass it would
have quickly ended in its rejection.
With all their radicalism, the majority
of members are not prepared to sustain
a scheme that is repugnant to the moral
sense and the humanity of the North,
rhey know that the great, ‘body of the
Northern people’ not only have no
desire to seize the lands of the planters
and divide them among the freedmen.
but would frown down such a project
as barbarous, unjust and eminently
impolitic.
“The current opinion at the North
flows in a direction widely different
from that on which the extremists ol
North Carolina base their calculations.
Their reasoning is as unsound as their
axiom. Revolutions do sometimes ‘go
| backwards,’ or, rather, their violence j
sometimes produces a re-action which
undoes the work and permanently
neutralizes their influence. The more
I sensible of the radical journals, recog- ■
nizing the eminence of re-action as a
conseguence of too violent proceedings,
are earnest in their condemnation of
the very measures on which the Holden
faction build their hopes. The Chicago
Tribune, than which the radicals have j
few abler or more influential organs,
condemns confiscation and repudiates
it in behalf of the party, When Mr.!
Stevens introduced his till, the Tri«« j
bune denounced it as a libel upon the’
Northern people, who want ao measure i
of vengeance, and will tolerate none of
robbery. The same journal denounces
the recent propositions of Mr. Sum
ner, and in effect declares that no party
could live after giving them its sanc
tion.”

How stands tlie Record!
We publish, in another column, the
correspondence between Gov. Jenkins
and Gen.. Pope in regard to the present
and future policy of the State of Geor-»
gia in the matter of reconstruction.
Gov. Jenkins says he feels it his du
ty to stand by his oath of office, hoping
at the same time that their respective
trusts will not clash. Gen. Pope also
expresses the same hope, but gives the
Governor very plainly to understand
that he does not object to his standing
by his oath of office, provided that oath
does not throw an impediment in the
way of reconstruction upon the plan
that he has been commission by Con-,
gress to execute, but in case it does “he
(Gen. P.) will exert the extent of his
power to enforce the law,”
We would regret very much to see a
conflict of authority raised between
the two intended co-operative branches
of the government —the civil and the
military—the civil must yield, and the
arbitrament oi the sword is seldom, ii
ever, very concilhatory. We fear,
however, that designing persons, have
been and are still trying to bring about
a breach between these two functfbna
ries of the government ; but from the
very respectful language in which the
correspondence is clothed, we hope
ail'd believe that their object will not
be accomplished.
If Gen. Pope was to fail to discharge
the duties assigned him by Congress,
he would be removed-and a far less ac»
ceptable officer to the people of this
District might, and in all probability
would, be appointed to succeed him.
Gen. P. thus far in his administration,
while he designs to be understood by
the people as an unswerving execution
er ol the law, has evinced every dispo
sition to make his administration ac
ceptable and himself agreeable to the
same. We think we have cause to
congratulate ourselves upon the ap
apointment; of so conservative a gentle
man to the high and responsible posi
tion, and, if we cannot fully and freely
endorse the mission he was sent to
accompliih —if we cannot enter heart
and hand into the work of reconstruc
tion under the military bill—we should
not throw obstructions in the way by
manifesting a spirit of hostility to the
measure, either in words or actions,
but, on the contrary keep our mouths
shut and attend to our own business,
obeying, at the same time, all laws
and orders respecting our conduct and
intercourse emanating from the powers
that be, and when registration of voters
begins, to go forward and record our
names, if not dislranchised, that we
may be duly qualified to exercise the
•liberty of suffrage when duty requires
it. These are our honest convictions
and we give them for what they are
worth.

Reconstruction. —One of the
greatest obstructions in the way of re
constructing the Southern States now
Unrecognized by Congress, under the
miiitary bill, is thrown there bv
individuals who are making it their bu
siness to travel over the country and
exeri their influence in arraying the
freed men against their former masters,
and also in instigating them to the per*
petration of deeds that they well know
will create a feeling of antagonism be
tween the two races. The former slave
holder of the South has been taught
from his cradle to look upon the negro
as his inferior in every respect, and no
thing would sooner consign a white
man to infamy in his eyes than an
equal association of the two races. —
Since the slave has been set free, and
is the whiteman’s equal in the eyes of
the law, we have reluctantly acknowl
edged it, and it does not appear now
half so hideous as it did then. We are
willing that he should be free, that he
should be educated, and be his own
preacher, lawyer, doctor, mechanic,
and farmer, and shall be equal before
the law to sue and be sued, to contract,
to testify, to vote, &c., s*c., but any ef*
fort to place him upon asocial equality
with the white man, will meet with op
position, whether it be voluntary or
compulsory. There are individuals
traveling over the country who avail
themselves ol every opportunity to en
force social equality between the two
races, by making them eat at the same
table, sleep in the same bed, ride in the
same cars, and even to intermarry.—
Now what is the result? It not only
embitters the white man against the
black and the man who endeavors to
enforce equality, but against the gov„
eminent he represents. It cannot be
in the very nature of things that two
races, raised up together under such
circumstances, possessing different
habits, manners and customs, will affil
iate in every respect in so short a
a length of time if ever. Only give us
time and those things will all come
right as far as Providence designs they
should.
(Correspondence of the Cartersville Express.)
Nashville, Tenn., April 25 1867.
Editors Cartersville Express ,
In traveling into this section of the
•State soliciting contributions for* the
destitute of a portion of our State, I
have everywhere met with the kindest
reception. It is true that the charity
of the people of the State had been
previously heavily taxed, but they re
sponded to my request to the best ot
their ability and means. Gov. Neil S.
Brown, his honor the Mayor of the
city, and Col. A. S. Colyar, the Pres
ident of the coal company, rendered
me great assistance, for which many
hearts will thank them. Also in Win
chester, Col. Estill labored in behalf oi
the poor of Georgia, with a zeal that
will render double the welcome he will
receive from the people should he ever
visit Georgia.
I find that a great majority of the
citizens of Tennessee belong to the
Conservative party. Four out of five
of the journals of the city, support
Ethridge, the Conservative party ; the
enfranchisement of the negroes may
cause Brownlow to he re-elected Gov
ernor. In some of the counties of the
Stale, but few white persons are allow
ed to vote.
I find here a good number of U. S.
soldiers, which the people dread less
than they do Brownlow’s militia.
I have found some capitalists in favor
ol building the Cartersville & Van Wert
Railroad. They will soon send rep
resentatives to look into the matter, and
il they are pleased the work may soon
commence. J. F. D.
Appeal to tbe Supreme Court.
The New York Tribune says that
opposition to the reconstruction law
takes its first formal shape in a prayer
to the Supreme Court for an injunction
to restrain from enforcing it. “Gen
Pope, Commander ofthe Third Military
District, and Andrew Johnson, a citizen
ofTe»nessee,and President of the U.
S.” That Mr. Johnson would like to
be enjoined not to enforce the law is
certain, and'it is understood that he is
the leader of this effort to test the
constitutionality of the law. There is
another question, however—whether
the Supreme Court can act upon the
case unless it is brought before it on ap
peal from a lower Court, and the Hon.
Reverdy Johnson is ol the opinion that
it cannot.
Senator Wilson tells the Southern
people that il is not only necessary lior
them, to receive political grace, to
reconstruct under the laws of Con
gress, but to join the Radical party.
In short become political Puseyites,
and always when they pray to turn
their faces to the East.
